HT201210 hi,im try to restore a iphone 3gs it s give me an error 1611

some help to restore a iphone 3 gs

Hi there don7173,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.

  • I try to restore my iphone 3gs and it sayscan not restor because of the erroe code1what dose this mean

    i have a iphone 3gs that every time i try restore my iphone a error message come up it said unable to restore iphone because of error (1) what dose this mean pls help me i have try every thing.and it get all the way to the point of restoring firmware and then that error pops up what is firmware and how do i fix this problem. this is the first time i have owed a iphone.

    depends on what you have
    do you have vista, 7, or xp
    firmware is like the iphones security that helps run programs
    Firmware is the name given to the set of programs that are an integral part of the operation of a computer’s hardware. They enable to hardware to function properly and allow software to run on the hardware.
    It is called firmware because it’s not software (i.e., the programs that users run on the computer), but it’s also not hardware (the physical objects that make up the computer).
    On the iphone, firmware is the set of operations and tools that sit between the hardware that the phone uses and the software that runs on the phone. It enables features, fixes bugs, and attends to the functioning of the phone.
    Periodically, Apple releases firmware updates to add new functionality to the iphone, correct problems with it, and close security holes.

  • When I try to restore my iPhone 3GS I get an error that says "unknown error (-1)." My iPhone is in recovery mode and I can't use it! PLEASE HELP!

    Before this it randomly said "your Phone can no longer send or recieve messages. Please restore to reactivate." Then, instead of restoring it, I restarted it. When I turned it back on it said "activation required." So then I tried to restore it and at the last step "restoring firmware" it freezes and gives me the error code (-1)! After this, it started randomly turning off and plus I couldn't use it at all! I put it in restore mode to try and restore it again and I got the same error message. I tried this on a windows 7 and a macbook with an updated iTunes and got the same error code. I tried it with 2 different sync cords too! What do I do!

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

    Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  See:

    i try to restore my iphone 4 software it shows unkown 16 errpor

    Hello jijojohn,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with devices that need to be restored. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
    Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • When we  try to restore a iphone 3 sur Itunes and new Lion we have error 3194 can t restore this iphone what can i do ?

    when we  try to restore a iphone 3 sur Itunes and new Lion we have error 3194 can t restore this iphone what can i do ?
    thanks for your kind help

    1. Update iTunes - latest version is 10.4.1.
    2. Disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware) running on your computer.
    3. Don't try to downgrade the iOS version.  This isn't supported
    4. If you EVER tried to hack thie phone or use apps like tinyumbrella, you may have to edit the hosts file on your computer to remove references to gs.apple.com
    5. If your phone has been hacked (jailbroken, iOS downgrade, or unauthorized unlocking), you may not be able to restore the phone to Apple specs again.
    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see  iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod; follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.  Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this error. Try restoring moving the current .ipsw file aside, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."
